SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Forty-two percent of America’s young-but-cynical Generation Z are dealing with a mental health condition, a new survey finds. A range of these issues were largely identified during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The analysis by Harmony Healthcare IT suggests tens of millions of Gen Z young adults started dealing with a mental health problem in the months immediately following the start of the global pandemic in March 2020. The Indiana-based data management company’s survey highlights a staggering percentage of young adults diagnosed with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the pandemic.

I shouldn’t have said that. There are a lot of good kids out there.

“diagnosed with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)”

Well, right around this time a bunch of states legalized marijuana too, with many doctors offering these specific diagnoses to anyone who wanted a medical marijuana card.

I believe it, young people are a mess, a good chunk of them don’t even know if they are a boy or girl anymore.

Liberals have destroyed an entire generation of kids.

I have Gen Z kids. Every single one of their friends is on ADHD medication. Adderall, Vyvanse, etc. Every one. It’s a lot higher than 42%. There is literally an Adderall “shortage” right now.

In September 2022, Harmony Healthcare IT surveyed 1,055 Gen Z adults to ask them about their mental health. 47% were men, 45% women, 6% nonbinary, and 2% transgender. Respondents ranged in age from 18 to 24 with an average age of 22.

I don't accept as Truth, the extrapolation of self-reported results of enough people to fill a club, upon zillions of Gen Zers.

They’re told the planet will be uninhabitable in eight years; that’s gotta be workin’ their nerves.

I am going to call this “implanted conditions”, in the same vein as implanted memories. Totally manufactured by public schools and the mental health industry.

I am sad = mental health issue.

I am bored = mental health issue.

I am broke = mental health issue

I am lonely = mental health issue

I am tired = mental health issue

I am ordinary = mental health issue

Millenials and Gen Z have taken every normal aspect of the “down” side of the up and downs of life, and turned it into a medical condition requiring counseling, therapy, drugs, or other treatment.

Snowflakes gotta melt.

There is a lot of truth in that. The dem indoctrination makes for angry, depressed, and confused people.

It could be that most Gen Z will submit themselves to be studied, diagnosed and prescribed medication for what older generations see as the general stresses of adult living.
If you look close enough at anyone’s character, you will see imperfections. Not every ‘imperfection’ needs to be medicated or given some kind of therapy. Sometimes, what you see is what you are supposed to get, according to that person’s nature.
